remained trapped. >> we texted him, called him, and he hasn't -- he's not answering the phone. >> reporter: her son eddie hid in a women's bathroom with several others. he texted his mother. he's coming. >> then he said he has her and he's been killing. that was it. >> reporter: eddie was confirmed dead this morning. around 5:00 a.m. a police s.w.a.t. team punched several holes through a wall in the back of the club and stormed the building. >> the suspect came out of the hole himself armed with a handgun and a long gun, engaged in a gun battle with officers. >> reporter: in the ensuing firefight, one officer was hit but his kevlar helmet likely saved his life. >> we were able to rescue dozens and dozens of people that came out of that hole. >> reporter: mateen, who called 911 during the three-hour siege and pledged allegiance to isis, was dead. >> we all work together -- >> reporter: a childhood friend
7:07 am
violent.never saw mateen being - >> part of me wants to hate him, and i hate his actions, but it's difficult for me to separate that friendship we had as a child, as children with the person who committed these acts yesterday. >> reporter: now we've learned that police, in fact, negotiated with mateen, who was holed up with the hostages for about an hour. police say that he was calm and, in fact, didn't ask for much. the decision to actually storm the nightclub was only made after officials determined that future loss of life was imminent. gayle? >> so tough to hear the women in the piece crying for their sons only to get the news nobody wanted to hear. >> reporter: the confirmation as bad as the wait. >> holding out hope. thank you, josh. we are learning this morning about the lives of the victims that were killed and wounded in yesterday's attack. the city of orlando has released the names of more than two dozen people killed at the pulse

7:11 am
record and was working as a security guard before the attack. mateen was married for a second time and had a 3-year-old son. a closer look at his background including some possible warning signs. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: cbs news has learned omar mateen purchased two of the guns used the weekend before the mass shooting on june 4th and june 5th, and investigators have found a third gun in his vehicle. the killer was in contact with 911 dispatchers multiple times pledging his allegiance to eisi and even invoking the names of the boston marathon bombers. omar mateen had been contacted by u.s. law enforcement at least twice in recent years, after traveling to saudi arabia in 2012 to attend the hague, an annual pilgrimage to mecca, mateen surfaced when in 2013 co-workers said he'd made
7:12 am
inflammatory remarks about terrorist ties. the fbi's ron hopper is leading the investigation into the orlando attack. >> mateen was interviewed twice. ultimately we were unable to verify the substance of his comments and the investigation was closed. >> reporter: in 2014 he came to the fbi's attention again. this time because of contact he had with the first known american suicide bomber in syria. but, once again, mateen was cleared. despite those fbi inquiries, mateen was not on any list that prevented him from purchasing a weapon. >> he did purchase two firearms, a handgun and a long gun within the last few days. >> reporter: yusufiy married mateen in 2009 but left months later. she said he was working to become a police officer, but after they married he became volatile and abusive. >> three months after we wered$ married, i saw his instability, and i saw that he was bi-polar and he would get mad out of
7:13 am
nowhere. >> reporter: mateen's father, seddiqui mateen had afghan politics speeches. he visited with his son the day before the shooting and saw no sign he was preparing for an attack. so far there is no evidence mateen's actions were directed by isis, but has pledged to the group suggests he was at least inspired by isis ideology. >> we have no reason to believe that anyone connected to this crime is placing the public in imminent danger at this time, but there is an investigation of other persons. >> reporter: investigators say it is not clear whether others will face charges and that they are following up on more than 100 leads. cbs news has learned mateen previously worked as a security guard for a gated community and also for a florida courthouse. as for those 911 calls, investigators will examine those
7:14 am
and continue to dig into the shooter's background. >> jeff, thanks. the fbi spent the night combing through omar mateen's home in ft. pierce. that's on florida's atlantic coast. the gunman lived about two hours from the scene of the massacre in orlando. investigators also seized evidence from mateen's father's home in port st. lucie, florida. david begnaud is outside mateen's home and joins us now. david, good morning to you. >> reporter: it's about 120 miles from the scene of the shooting to the apartment complex where the gunman lives. it is a nondescript location here in ft. pierce. we spoke with neighbors who would see him coming and going in recent months. they saw him in his security guard uniform. he never really engaged with them, didn't talk. one neighbor said i was always suspicious because of how cold his eyes loongd. looked. the fbi cleared the scene leaving with the evidence they needed. it took them more than eight hours to get the search warrant required to gain access to the apartment. initially there was concern explosives may have been set to
7:15 am
harm law enforcement, but local media reports no explosives were found. yesterday the fbi searched a property connect ed to the gunman's family just south of here in port st. lucie, florida. from that location investigators walked away with bags full of evidence, a mac computer, and they also searched three vehicles. back here in st. pierce where we are, the fbi also went through this vehicle, a toyota camry, which we're told belongs to the gunman. there are sheets inside detailing what was found. on the back, a bumper sticker of nasa and the u.s. marine corps. something that troubles neighbors here who say why would a man have stickers like that and then do what he's accused of doing? it's unclear if the fbi will be back at this location. as of now neighbors have been able to return to their apartments 24 hours after they were told they needed to get out. >> thanks, david. florida governor rick scott is with us. he just -- he just has requested
7:16 am
an emergency declaration from president obama. governor scott, good morning. it's good to have you here. >> good morning. >> the world is looking this morning and feeling the pain of florida and orlando, florida, and the people injured and dead. i have three questions. they want to know what happened. they want to know about the victims, and they want to know about the gunman. tell me first about you seeking an emergency declaration. >> sure. i called a declaration -- an emergency declaration yesterday to make sure we get all the state resources but we want ed o get the federal resources. the fbi has been here and worked very hard with law enforcement. they've worked very hard and they've all worked together very well. this is clearly terror and you just think about these families. you go through the list of those who loved their lives. we have a big puerto rican community. we have a young lady from hawaii, mother and grandmother. i was at harry potter the other day and one of the individuals worked there. luis vielma.
7:17 am
>> the horror of this is the victims and the horror of this is how long it went on. >> you have to appreciate law enforcement. fortunately they had an officer off duty working there at the time because we lost so many lives. just think how many more lives would have been lost, how many went in the build iing not knowg at 5:00 a.m. what was going on in there and put their lives at risk. we saw one of them get hit right in the helmet. two inches lower, you know, he would have been dead. >> to charlie's point, the horror of this. you join the roll call list nobody wants to be on, aurora, san bernardino, certainly newtown. an newtown people thought maybe something will change. here you are, you have a very good record, they say, with the nra. are you rethinking your position on banning the so-called assault
7:18 am
weapons? >> right now is the time to mourn and think about these families. we'll have plenty of time to think about what we do, how we constantly try to make our society a better society. i have daughters and grandchildren. i don't want anything to happen to them. how do we always improve our so sighity? right now we need to mourn with these families. all the names are being released. think about what it was like yesterday not knowing. >> how are you letting them know that, in kt if a, we had one victim here who had been there, i don't know what happened to my friend. how can you accelerate that clock? >> sure. all of us want more information. i talked to the fbi yesterday about it. family members reached out to me and i talked to family members yesterday. they want information like we all would want information. as you know, putting out more information now, releasing a lot of the names. every individual has a story and a family and -- >> and you said you know this
7:19 am
street, this area, these people. >> i'm on this street driving through orlando a lot. i've had businesses here. >> governor, thank you. our sympathy for the people of orlando. flags at the white house this morning are flying at half-staff. in the hours after the attack, the president express ed his condolences. >> this is a sobering reminder that attacks on any american, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation is an attack on all of us. and on the fundamental values of equality and dignity that define us as a country. and no act of hate or terror will ever change who we are or the values that make us americans. >> in just a few minutes the fbi director and homeland secretary will brief the president. if the president speaks afterwards, we will bring it to you live in a special report.

tributes small and large honoring the victims of america's worst-ever mass shooting. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we of course are live if orlando. and the big headline in the local paper says this -- "the orlando sent nell," really more of a promise, is says "our community will heal." unfortunately, we've seen this headline many, many times. >> you do get the sense that a lot of people in the tragedy knew each other. and there's a sense of trying to deal with the horror of disgrace."
7:31 am
the presumptive nominee joins us now on the telephone. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> let's begin with this in terms of what you are saying should be done right now in the after makt of this attack. >> we need just, we need vigilance -- we need justice, we
7:32 am
need vigilance, we need great intelligence-gathering systems which we don't have. we started to have them and let go. we had them in new york city as an example, probably the best in the nation. the mayor of new york city, the new mayor, just broke it up and disbanded it. he thought it was inappropriate. it's unbelievable. that was one of the best of all systems. and we need intelligence gathering like never before. interestingly, the community, the muslim community, the community where this maniac lived and where others lived -- as an example in san bernardino, they found bombs all over the apartments and all over the floors. many people saw that. they don't report these people. the people know who the bad apples are, where the bad seeds are. they don't report them. there's very little reporting of people like this. you'll find out shortly, you'll find out that many people knew
7:33 am
he was bad. many people knew he had some idea for an attack. happens all the time. almost all the time. we need much better intelligence. >> we are trying to find out as much we can. obviously the fbi and law enforcement authorities -- there are two things here. number one, you have said and made known your program to eliminate and stop muslim from coming into the country. this and other incidents have involved people already in the country and what is happening to them and how they are radicalized. >> right. right. they're becoming radicalized by people coming in. they're also becoming radicalized by family members and others. you saw that with san bernardino where we had somebody in the country. he became probably radicalized through her when he married, probably through her. she came to the country. we have to stop people coming in from syria. hillary clinton want a 500%
7:34 am
increase of people coming in from syria. and you have many people coming to the country now who are just as bad, if not worse, than the main amtrak that did this -- maniac that did this horrible act. if we don't get smart, like very smart very fast, we're going to have these acts taking place all over. we have to start having a tremendous -- sadly -- ainterru you for a second. >> we're fighting a war without uniforms. >> donald trump, we hear you, donald trump. this is the problem that a lot of people have with your words -- the ban that you're calling for, these people were already here. they worry that your words just inflame a situation and get people who weren't even thinking about doing these kind of acts, turning them against us. do you worry about enflaming an already very dicey, sensitive situation? do you worry about that? >> well, did you see what happened yesterday?
7:35 am
they weren't about my words -- >> yes. >> look at the people that were killed yesterday. and this will -- this is just the beginning, okay. this is going to get worse and worse. i see yesterday where they announced on isis radio -- can you believe they have a radio station, they actually have a radio station that we haven't talken out. by the way, those are the things that enflame. they use the internet better than we do. they create radio stations. how are they allowed to have these things? and those are the things that enflame. and we better get smart to it because believe me, all i want is safety. i want safety for this country. what happened yesterday will happen many times over with the president like obama that doesn't even want to use the term radical islamic terrorism. he doesn't want to use the attorney general. and clinton won't -- term.
7:36 am
favor of banning assault weapons -- you used to be in favor of banning assault weapons. are you rethinking about your position? >> i changed positions because we need protection in this country. we need protection. we have to have protection. people have to be able to protect themselves. the bad guys have them. the bad guys have them, we need protection in this country. >> what are you going to say in your speech today? >> i was going to talk about hillary clinton, which is very easy to do for me. i understand her. >> okay, but -- >> and she's -- >> what are you going to say? >> now we're going to be talking about -- i think it was inappropriate to do that right now. i had a massive rally tonight in new hampshire. i've canceled that, but we're going to make a speech on the event yeste

7:42 am
escaped the gunfire, yet they risked their safety to help saves the lives of others. "cbs evening news" anchor and manager scott pelley has that part of the story. he spoke with witnesses carrying the weight of what they saw. you've been here since yesterday afternoon. good morning. good morning. great to be with you on "cbs this morning." every time these things happen we talk about the hate that fills the heart of the people who perpetrate these things. this morning we also want to talk about the courage exhibited by ordinary people in the worst of circumstances. >> it seemed like it wasn't going to stop. >> reporter: shawn royster was with friends on the back patio of the pulse nightclub when the shooting began. what were you seeing and hearing in that moment? >> screaming, yelling, they were like dragging bodies, people that were wounded. just to get them out of the way.
7:43 am
sorry. sorry. probably the worst i've felt in my entire life. so i don't know -- there shouldn't be that type of hate. >> reporter: in the face of that hate came acts of heroism. >> i was about to run for the safe zone. >> reporter: josh mcgill and ashley somers ran and lost track of one another. mcgill found shelter behind a car. >> i hear someone mumbling, help, help. >> reporter: a few feet away, 27-year-old rodney sumter jr. lay wounded and bleeding, shot in each arm and once in the back. >> i only saw the one bullet at first. i was like, we need to stop the bleeding. he was like, okay. i took my shirt off and tied it around as tight as i could. and then i saw his other arm had been shot.
7:44 am
i took his shirt off, tied it it around that one. >> reporter: the two hobbled to police at the scene. >> it police officer turned to me and said, okay, this is -- this is what the deal is, you're going to lay down in the back of the cop car, and he's going to lay on top of you. and i want you to bear hug him and try to keep all the pressure on him as you can. so i did, and they were also like, keep him conscious. >> reporter: mcgill held sumter all the way to the hospital. >> i was like, i don't know if you're religious, but i feel like i need to say a prayer. i was like, you're going to be fine. i got you, man. >> reporter: we understand that rodney sumter jr. will be having surgery later today. charlie and gayle, about half of the victims have been identified so far. >> yeah. >> that's the horror for people who have friends, they don't know where they are. >> reporter: exactly. i was talking to marco rubio who was at the scene yesterday. he said the haunting thing was
7:45 am
standing outside the club, he could hear all the cell phones going off inside. the cell phones of people who had been killed. and their loved ones are still trying to call them -- >> they would come every saturday and all knew each other. >> yes, a very popular club. 300 people there at 2:00 in the morning. >> i'm haunted, too, of the scene of the cell phones ringing. you talked to a survivor this morning -- it's one of those cases where you hope no news is good news. in this case, you hope that that's the case. it's scary while you're waiting. last call, last dance, everybody was winding up getting ready to go home. the music stopped, but the bullets did not. very hard. >> about 25 families still this morning don't know whether their loved one is in the hospital or in the morgue. >> in the end, it is a massacre, as the paper said, "usa today." a massacre. the sense of people simply coming for a good time being a hostage and then shot. >> terrible, terrible tragedy.

it is monday, june 13th, 2016. welcome back to cbs this morning. more real news ahead including the response to the orlando terror attacks. people around the world mourn the victims while investigators try to confirm a motive. first, here is today's eye opener at 8:00. >> the first shots tore through around pulse around 2:00 a.m., dozens were dead. >> we still don't know dozens of names of those shot. as each is released the pain runs deep.
8:01 am
>> two of the guns used and investigators found a third gun in his vehicle. >> we spoke with neighbors who saw the gunman coming and going. one neighbor said i was always suspicious because of how cold his eyes looked. >> the horror of this -- >> you have to appreciate law enforcement. we lost so many lives, think of how many more will fall. >> you're worried about my words, look at the people killed yesterday. and this is just the beginning, okay? this is going to get worse and worse. >> we talk about the hate that fills the hearts of the people who perpetrate these things. but this morning, we also want to talk about the courage exhibited by ordinary people in the worst of circumstances. >> when senseless acts of tragedy remind us that nothing here is promised. not one day. we rise and fall, remembrances that love and hope last longer. and love is love is love is love
8:02 am
is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king in orlando. norah is off. we have new information this morning on the deadliest terror a tack in america since 9/11. a short time ago, the fbi revised the death toll to 49 plus the gunman. people around the world paused last night to remember those shot to death at a gay nightclub here. officials have identified all but one of the 49 victims. all of the bodies have been removed from the club. another 53 people were injured including a police officer who tried to stop the gunman. >> officials say that omar mateen pledged his allegiance to
8:03 am
isis during a 911 call during the shooting. he carried an ar-15 assault rifle and a handgun. he both them bought legally. he apparently had no criminal record and he worked as a security guard. the fbi investigated him twice about possible terror ties. he parked next to the front of the nightclub. he came in at last call, last dance, this shows the heavy gunfire that took place. isis claimed responsibility for the attack, and this morning, is praising mateen in a radio
8:04 am
broadcast. >> in a statement after the orlando shooting, hillary clinton said "we need to redouble our efforts to defend our country from threats at home and abroad." she also said weapons of war have no place on our streets. the presumptive democratic presidential nominee joins us now on the telephone. thank you for coming this morning in which the world is mourning about what happened here in orlando. a block and a half from here where 49 and the gunman lost their lives. you have said we have to redouble our efforts. what does that mean and how do we do it and what is the urgency? >> well, charlie, first of all i want to extend my condolences to everyone that lost a loved one. i'm also thinking about those who are in critical condition, still in the hospital. even as we figure out more about
8:05 am
what happened, we have got to defend our country from the so call called lone wolfs and dismantle those that have this kind of radicalization. i think we're up to it, we have the experience and relationships to get it done. but this is a moment for statesmanship not participasans. i have said that we have to go after this issue of self radicalization. i would set up a team exclusively dedicated to detecting and preventing lone wolf attacks. and that does mean more resources and making sure we're integrating all information from every law enforcement agency and strengthening our communication. and we're going to have to work
8:06 am
more closely with our tech companies to prevent online radicalization while we take the fight to isis to defeat them in syria and iraq. >> it is troubling that in this particular case, this man was on the radar, had been interrogated twice by the fbi. how do we make sure there is the capacity and the tools to do something, and the laws, with respect to the constitution at the same time recognizing where danger is. >> that is absolutely right. this can all look obvious in hindsight. i'm not going to rush to judgment for the career law enforcement that do this every day. i think it is really important, the point that you made in your
8:07 am
question, charlie, whatever resources whatever manpower, whatever technological abilities are available, this is a different threat, a different challenge that we face, and i want us to be sure that we're really focused on providing everything that can make a difference. i mean we may find out that this was a threat from this man, or information about him that was followed up on, but you know there is a lot of other threats on the front. congress needs to pass the provision from people that are on the no fly list to keep from buying gunning in america.
8:08 am
it needs to come to the attention of our law enforcement. so there is just a lot that we have to focus on. we have to be sure that we are doing everything humanly possible to equip and support law enforcement for meeting this threat. >> the people who are gripped with pain, they don't care if it is a hate rime, a mental health issue, what are the thoughts for the people of orlando today. president obama took to the air waves again today, and people saying we have been in this situation too many times before and nothing seems to change. what in the world is it going to take? >> i think it will take everything we were just discussing about upping our efforts and having a more intense focus on terrorist
8:09 am
threats. it also takes common sense gun safety laws. we don't know all of the details, but we're hearing that he used a military type weapon to take down and hoot people. we have to make it harder for them to do that. and we have to keep weapons of war off of our streets. like the one used in orlando wells blocking suspected terrorists from buying guns. he was buying them legally, he was a security officer who had access to guns. and you know if you're too dangerous to fly on a plane, to buy a gun, if you're brought to the attention of law enforcement because of your comments about supporting violent terrorism, you know, maybe that should also
8:10 am
go into a database, we have to look at all of this. it is not an ordinary time and we have to act with a great deal or urgency to protect the people who have every reason to wonder why is this happening. why is this kind of hatred being put into action. so we have to have a very clear mission here that we address on the terrorist side and the gun side. >> thank you very much. >> secretary clinton, thank you for your time this morning. ahead, michael ,, ."

the fbi this morning said investigators are following up about 100 leads in the orlando investigation. former cia deputy director michael morrell is a cbs news senior security contributor, and he joins us now from washington. thank you very much for joining us on a very, very sad day. >> good morning. >> we all heard the gunman reached out and called 911 and pledged his allegiance during this incident. i want you to talk about how unusual that is and why is it important twlon it was a directed or inspired attack? what does that mean that he called during the attack? >> gayle, i think that's very significant because isis tells its followers that they must pledge allegiance to isis before they die. we saw this in san bernardino, and now we've seen it here. i think it's very important because it shows that he was in touch with that isis messaging. we still don't know whether this was a lone wolf attack or
8:17 am
whether he was directed. there is no evidence that he was directed, but we still don't know that. >> one thing that's interesting to subcommittee how much preparation must have gone into the organized way that he went about this. >> there is no dhut he spent some time -- no doubt that he spent some time thinking about this. it appears that he surveilled the location ahead of time. he must have thought through that 911 phone call. so this was premeditated in every meaning of the word. >> mike, he had been on the radar screen of authorities since about 2013 for making inflammatory comments about his co-workers. when does it go from hate speech to a threat that you need to pay attention? they investigated him and cleared him. >> so they investigated him twice. the fbi literally investigates things like that, thousands and thousands and thousands of times. they simply found nothing to

dozens of the 53 people injured in the orlando shooting are still hospitalized. hundreds answered the call yesterday for blood donors. mark strassman is outside the orlando regional medical center where most of the injured are still being treated. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. as horrific as this massacre was, many of the wounded got lucky in one respect -- this hospital, which is a level-one trauma center, sits a half mile from the nightclub. those wounded got every fighting chance to survive. the slaughter at the pulse overwhelmed first responders. victims outnumbered ambulances. some wounded were rushed to emergency rooms in police cruisers or any available vehicle. >> they were putting people in the back of trucks because they couldn't get the ambulance or get enough people to come in. so those that were tagged yelled oh, they were loaded into
8:23 am
trucks. >> reporter: nine admit to orlando regional died sunday. in all, three orlando hospitals were in crisis mode. >> we immediately activated our mass casualty incident plan. we brought in six trauma surgeons to responds. we have spent the morning operating on a number of victims. >> reporter: some frantic family members got frustrated when they first tried to get information from the hospitals. patient confidentiate laws known as hipaa slowed and even blocked information from people desperate to learn whether loved ones were okay. >> i reached out to the white house to see if we could get the hipaa regulations waived. the white house responded through appropriate channels to waive those so that the hospital could communicate with the families. >> reporter: hours after the shooting, hundreds of donors showed up at blood banks. people handed out cold water in florida's summer heat. >> everyone asks what they can
8:24 am
do to help. this is one of the biggest ways. they need a lot of blood. it was my way of contributing. >> reporter: by early sunday afternoon, the blood bank's supply was at full capacity. the need for blood will remaybe main high -- remain high, and people have been urged to continue to donate all week. at orlando regional, 26 patients went into the operating room. some will need more surgeries. >> we are encouraging team make appointments and come see us tomorrow and the next day. we'll continue to replenish the blood supply. >> reporter: some blood donors ran into confusion and frustrati frustration. federal law prohibits sexually active gay men from giving blood. there was a false report yesterday that rule had been lifted. it was not true. many showed up here hoping to help and were turned away. gayl gayle? >> i heard people say that's the least that they could do. thank you very much. tomorrow, orlando's first

8:26 am
in our community as a safe place. that's where people who are the victims of discrimination, or interest homophobia, or transphobia in their lives, gay bars are where people go away from that. >> reporter: the tweet was deleted. and he said, lieutenant governor patrick, and every texan is stunned. and be assured that the post was not done in response to last night's tragedy. the post was designed and scheduled last thursday. >> i don't doubt that it was prescheduled. >> reporter: smith says on a day of tragedy, and during pride month -- >> it is sad to me that it took hours for it to be taken down. >> reporter: perhaps patrick or someone on his team should have been a little quicker to take the post down. >> in the wake of these mass murders that a post such as that would be allowed to stay up for hours. >> the massacre in orlando hit

hard in west hollywood where a gay pride parade took place sunday. greg mills of our los angeles station, kcbs reports. >> it was our brothers and sisters in orlando! >> reporter: they couldn't help but think about their brothers and sisters in orlando. >> gay rights are socially acceptable. it's obviously still a problem for a lot of people. >> reporter: the pride parade was just as spectacular, just as flamboyant than ever before. those celebrating what happened in orlando, could have happened here, if an arrest hadn't been made in santa monica. a sense of strength and defiance permeated this parade. >> we will not be stuck in our homes. we will not go back into closets. we're out here to march, to celebrate, and to mourn. >> reporter: organizers told us
8:28 am
they never gave thought to canceling, or postponing this. outrageous? you bet. on santa monica boulevard, and alongside the boulevard. but the l.a. county sheriff's office said they had hundreds of officers on duty. they didn't want to tip their hand, but said we've enhanced our security for the event, and have tactical units at the ready. lapd was also involved. >> we also have special operations persons to bolster and supplementle regular patrols we have. >> reporter: it featured a cheerleading squad unlike any you've seen before. firefighters were here, but not exactly dressed to put out fires, but certainly raising the heat potion. >> that was greg mills reports. thanks for watching cbs news this morning. i'm meg oliver. ,,,,,,,,,,

8:30 am
mourners around the world are grieving for orlando's victims. dozens gathered at new york city's historic stonewall inn to honor the dead and wounded. the bar's exterior became a memorial. hundreds got together at vigils in boston to express solidarity with orlando. their message was one of love and acceptance. supporters in san francisco held a nepal city's plaza. the city's rainbow pride flag flew at half staff. and in paris, members of a gay community mourned the victims just about a mile from the theater where a terrorist killed dozens last year.
8:31 am
so we are here this morning with one more insane act. >> yes. i mean, it just shows you that as horrible as this story is, people somehow figure out a way to come together and say, you will not take us down. hate will not win. and in the end, love will win. when you're going through this, it seems very hollow at this point. you're at home missing someone that you love dearly. tough story. >> you want to know what happened -- >> what happened, how it happened, and why it happened. welcome back to "cbs this morning." we spoke earlier to one of the orlando survivors who was asking those very questions. his name is luis lopez. he was inside the pulse nightclub when the gunman opened fire. he made it out. he says he hid under a table. some of his friends did not. >> the guy was there for a little while before. i didn't realize who he was. i was wondering, who is this person. when the bullets were being shot, i didn't see the person. the next day when i see the public of omar --
8:32 am
>> reporter: you remember this is a cbs news special report. president obama just met with the fbi director and the homeland secretary to discuss the attack in orlando. 49 people and the gunman died in the attack on a gay nightclub. it is the deadliest mass shooting ever on u.s. soil. we have a reporter at the white house this morning, margaret? >> the president just concluded an hour long meeting with his national security team. he did make some public comments really trying to reashurt american public that this mass shooting is not part of a broader external plot on the united states, trying to reassure fears here that there might be -- that this terror act might be part of a larger plot. he also is really explaining how
8:33 am
he looks at this. one, he's very concerned that people are being self radicalized, particularly finding inspiration in the brutality of isis online, something that's been extremely hard for the president to try to stop. he also views this as an act of terrorism domestically involving the availability, wide availability of assault rifles. emphasizing here that shooter, 29-year-old omar mateen believed to have purchased legally the rifles and automatic weapons that he used to mow down hundreds of people, killing around 49 of them. so the president making the remarks but not really revealing so far where we are in the investigation. he is trying to reassure people here that there is not a large area tack. this really involves two of the biggest problems that president tried to grapple with and he is extremely frustrated about it. here is a taped play back of
8:34 am
what was said moments ago. >> okay. >> i just will to the opportunity to get the latest briefing from fbi director and deputy attorney general yates and the rest of my national security team about the tragedy that took place in orlando. they're going to be doing a more extensive briefing around noon, a little bit afternoon over at fbi headquarters. so i will allow them to go into all the details. but i thought it was important for you to hear directly from me. first of all, our hearts go out to the families of those who have been killed. our prayers go to those who have been wounded. this is a devastating attack on all americans. it is one that is particularly painful for the people of orlando. but i think we all recognize that this could have happened
8:35 am
anywhere in this country. and we feel enormous solidarity and grief on behalf of the families that have been affected. the fact that it took place at a club frequented by the lgbt community i think is also relevant. we're still looking at all the motivations of the killer. but it's a reminder into regardless of race, religion, faith, or sexual orientation, we're all americans. and we need to be looking after each other. and protecting each other at all times. in the face of this kind of terrible act. with respect to the killer, there's been a lot of reporting that's been done. it's important to emphasize that we're still at the preliminary stages of the investigation. and there's a lot more that we have to learn.
8:36 am
the one thing that we can say is that this is being treated as a terrorist investigation. it appears that the shooter was inspired by various extremist information that was disseminated over the internet. all those materials are currently being searched, exploited, so we'll have a better sense of the pathway that the killer took in making a decision to launch this attack. as director comby i think will indicate that stage we see no clear evidence that he was directed externally. it does appear that at the last minute he announced allegiance to isil. but there's no evidence so far
8:37 am
that he was in fact directed by them and also there's no direct evidence he was part of a larger plot. in that sense it appears to be similar to what we saw in san bernardino but we don't yet know. and this is part of what is going to be important in term of the investigation. as far as we can tell right now, this is certainly an example of the kind of homegrown extremism that all of us have been so concerned about for a very long time. it also appears that he was able to obtain these weapons legally because did he not have a criminal record that in some ways would prohibit him from purchasing these weapons. it appears that one of those weapons he was able to just carry out of the store, an assault rifle. a handgun, i glock which had a
8:38 am
lot of clips in it. he was apparently required to wait for three days under florida law. but does it indicate the degree to which it was not difficult for him to obtain these kinds of weapons. director will discuss the fact that there had been some investigation of him in the past that was triggered but as he will indicate, the fbi followed the procedures that they were supposed to and did a proper job. at the end of the day, this is something that we are going to have to grapple with, making sure that even as we go after isil and other extremist organizations overseas, even as we hit their leadership, even as we go after their infrastructure
8:39 am
and even as we take, you know, key personnel off the field, even as we disrupt external plots that one of the biggest challenges we're going to have is this kind of propaganda and perversions at islam that you see generated on the internet and the capacity for that to seep into the minds of troubled individuals or weak individuals and seeing them motivated then to take actions against people here in the united states and elsewhere in the world that are tragic. and so countering this extremist ideology is increasingly going to be just as important as making sure that we're disrupting more extensive plots efr engineered from the outside.
8:40 am
we we also have to make sure that we think about the risks that we're willing to take by being so lax in how we make very powerful firearms available to people in this country. and this is something that obviously i talked about for a very long time. you know, my concern is that we start getting into a debate as this happened in the past which is an either/or debate. and the suggestion is either we think about something as terrorism and we ignore the problems with easy access to firearms or it's all about firearms and we ignore the role, the very real role that organizations like isil have in getting extremist views inside this country. it's not an either/or it,s. it's a both/and.
8:41 am
we have to counter extremism. but we also have to make sure that it is not easy for somebody who decides they want to harm people in this country to be able to obtain weapons to get at them. and my hope is that over next days and weeks that we are being sober about how we approach this problem that we let the facts get determined by our investigators. but we also do some reflection in terms of how question best tackle what is going to be a very challenging problem, not just here in this country but aren't world. again, my final point is just to, you know, xenextend our deet sympathies to those would are affected and send our prayers to those who are surviving and are in hospitals right now, their
8:42 am
family members, hoping that they get better very soon. in the meantime, you can anticipate some time around noon that the fbi will deputy attorney general yates will provide you a briefing. i think we don't yet know the motivations. but here's what we do no is organizations like isil or organizations like al qaeda or those who have perverted islam and created these radical, vicious organizations, one of the groups that they target are gays and lesbians because they believe that they do not abide
8:43 am
by their attitudes towards sexuality. we also know these are organizations they can take captive women and enslave them and rape them. so there clearly are connections between the attitudes of the organization like this and their attitudes towards tolerance and pluralism and a belief that all people are treated equally regardless of sexual orientation. that is something threatening to them. women being empowered is threatening to them. so, yes, i'm sure they're going to be -- we will find that there are connections regardless of the particular motivations of this killer, there are connections between this vicious bankrupt ideology and general
8:44 am
attitudes towards gays and lesbians. and unfortunately that, is something that the lgbt community is subject to not just by isil but by a lot of groups th purport to speak on behalf of god around the world. >> what do you think that -- there has not been any move to reform gun control in this country? >> april, i think you know what i think about it. the fact that we make it this challenging for law enforcement, for example, even to get -- to get alerted that somebody who
8:45 am
they are watching has purchased a gun. and if they do get laertd, sometimes it's hard for them to stop them from getting it done. it is crazy. it's a problem. we have to, i think do, some soul searching. but again, you know, the danger here is then it ends up being the usual political debate and the nra and the gun control folks say that oh, obama doesn't want to talk about terrorism. and if you talk about terrorism, then people say why aren't you looking at issues of gun control? the point is if we have self-radicalized individuals in this country, then they are
